SSID-Docker

This project is an improvement of previous works on Stepping Stone Intrusion Detection (SSID). Automation is the focus to mantain flexibilty as well as seemless experiment integrity for each round of samples. Using Docker, this project simulates network activity as if there were stepping stone attacks occuring, all while collecting network traffic samples.

This project can be used to create data sets on SSID to be using for machine learning applications.

Documentation

##IMPORTANT NOTE

This README is has not yet been fully updated, but largely reflects all major changes

Running

requirements:

docker daemon running
venv environment set up with scapy installed
change value in /SSH_MODEL/.env to YOUR repo dir

terminal: $ chmod 700 docker-external.sh
$ sudo ./docker-external.sh
** enter prompt values** program takes care of everything else!

Triggering Structure

(1) docker-external.sh -->
(2) compose-bash.sh & ssh-config.sh -->
(3) docker-compose.yml -->
(4) internal.py-->
(5) listener.sh & launch.sh

Files & Uses

docker-external.sh :

takes user input for devices, rounds, and scan time
Manages experiment loop and docker container management

compose-bash.sh :

generates a dynamic docker-compose.yml based on configured options for each experiment
Takes the following parameters "compose-batch.sh $devices $round $scan_time $subnet $gateway $network_name

ssh-config.sh

generates dynamic ssh config file for each docker container for each experiment

internal.py

Manges internal functions for each container
Starts tcpdump on every host, start listener.sh on all but the first contianer, and starts launch.sh on the first container

listener.sh

A simple script to start a ncat listener.
Can be expended in the future for other commands and ports

launch.sh

Handels builidng the tunnel, and sending data through it
Uses a tmux loop to construct the tunnel by laaunching new connections as shells in the next hop opern'
Uses tmux again to send commands at random intervals through the tunnel to the target for an indefinte period of time

Available Models

Available protocols for tunnel segments:

SSH
- ssh $target -4: a simple ipv4 ssh tunnel to the given target, resvolved with confimration information on every system.
NCAT
- Uses the ncat to utility to create a connection to port 80 as quasi-http traffic

Future: - ncat on other ports - Realistic HTTP, DNS traffic

Management Commands

To see currently running containers: docker ps

To see all containers: docker ps -a

To enter any container within instance: docker exec -it bash

To rebuild all instances with updated Dockerfile: docker-compose up --build

To stop docker containers: docker stop

To remove docker containers: docker rm
